It’s Not For Zanu-PF Only, It’s For All Zimbabweans: War Vets Call For Nationwide Protest At US Embassy

The Zimbabwe National Liberation War Veterans Association (ZNLWVA) have called for a nationwide march to the United States Embassy in Harare to protest against sanctions. The protest will be held under the theme “Zimbabwe United Against Sanctions” although the date of the protest will be advised later on.

According to the Herald, Deputy Minister for Defence and War Veterans Affairs Victor Matemadanda told a meeting of war veterans,

“The purpose of my visit here is to tell you about the march we are organising. Every Zimbabwean has been affected by sanctions and we have to march to the American Embassy in Harare where we will not ask, but tell them to remove the sanctions. This event will be the mother of all marches. It’s not only for the Zanu-PF party, but it’s for all Zimbabweans.

“We want all unemployed graduates to come in their gowns, artisanal miners, the ill people who can’t afford to buy medicine, grandmothers who are looking after orphans, doctors who are demanding a raise, various political parties and everyone who is affected by the state of our economy which is caused by illegal sanctions to march to the American Embassy and state their case. Right now we are conscientising people so that when the date is announced people will be ready,”
